Joaquin Quizon

12-E
Terminator Genisys

Story: The story was quite good, quite fresh and really is a great take on the whole time

travel plot of the series. Although there are a few plot holes here and there, it is overall a

great story that is entertaining and keeps you interested. 8/10

Cast: The cast was great; Emilia Clarke was phenomenal as Sarah Connor, even pulling off a

great American accent. Jai Courtney also plays Kyle Reese well and Jason Clarke puts in an

amazing performance as John Connor. However, the biggest praise goes to the big man

himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger, who reprises his role as the terminator and shows that

even in his advanced age, he can still put on a wonderful performance. 10/10

Sound and sight: They brought back the old theme song which really got me watching the

movie and the way it was filmed was great, a typical action movie which I enjoy a lot .

The explosions were great and so were the shooting scenes and overall, it was a great sight

to behold. However, the cgi was a bit off in some parts.

Overall: Great cast with great directing and story make for a great movie that features a

classic. If the director keeps this up, I can see another trilogy coming up for Terminator.

10-B

A few weeks ago I watched Ant-Man. I found this movie really fun to watch, because of its hilarious script, great action scenes, and its never-ending comic relief. For those of you who don’t know, the original Ant-Man in the comic book universe, Hank Pym, creates a suit that lets him shrink down to the size of an ant. In Marvel’s movie adaptation, however, Hank is an old and retired Ant-Man who gives his suit to Scott Lang. I really liked the cinematography of this film because it would be following an ant- sized man beating up the bad guys, so the audience would see a speck and henchmen flying around.

Overall, I’d give this film a 7.5/10. Why? Well I do think Ant-Man is a good film but compared to legends like Titanic or The Godfather, Ant-man doesn’t really have that extra “oomph” like the two movies mentioned above. However, in the end, Ant-Man is still something nice to watch; it does have its moments and is an action-packed film.
